Q: Is it Normal that Foreskin does not Cover the Glans?

asked by: DoctorQuestion on June 4th, 2006

Is it normal for an intact teenager to have just 3 quarter of his dick head covered with foreskin? How can I make my foreskin longer so that it will completely cover my glans when I'm flaccid? I had been stretching it for 6 months plus now and my foreskin length had increase from covering only 1 quarter of my glans to 3 quarter of my glans now. And is there any way that I can actually consult a doctor working at clinics about this as I live in Malaysia?

Sorry for 'bombarding' you guys on all this questions but I really wish that my foreskin will completely cover my glans someday.

Yes, it is normal that the foreskin does not entirely cover the head of the penis. Circumcised men don’t have foreskin at all; there is nothing medically wrong with foreskin that does not cover the glans. In fact, foreskin hasn’t any very important function to insist so much on increasing its length.
